Sunday, October 16
7:00 pm at the Center for Sex and Culture, 398 11th Street at Harrison
Please join us for a forum discussion on sex-positive parenting.
This workshop is intended for parents who have chosen to be sex-positive and to share sex-positive values with their children. We live in a society with many mixed messages about sexuality. Many of us rejected our parents' values in order to become sex-positive people.
Now, raising children of our own, we find we are unsure how to communicate our values to our children and what information we should share or not share.
Because the event will be an open forum, we will address whatever issues individuals bring to the table. However, some of the general issues we are sure to discuss are polyamory; Paganism and alternative
spirituality; interfaith unions; bisexual, homosexual, and
heterosexual partnerships.
This event has arisen out of the concerns individuals have brought to the Center for Sex and Culture and the ideas of our current intern, Michelle Mueller. Michelle, student of the Graduate Theological Union, has a special interest in developing mentorship and sexual education
programs for Pagan youth. Michelle co-founded a student Pagan group at Bryn Mawr College and was Assistant Coordinator for Teen Programs at Circle Sanctuary's Free Spirit Gathering 2005. In the 2005-2006 academic year, Michelle intends to volunteer at UC Berkeley as a
religious advisor for Wiccan and Pagan undergraduates. Although Michelle is not a parent, she enjoys mediating between Pagan or sex-positive parents and their teenagers.
Please bring any books or resources you think other parents would appreciate.
The CSC's phone number is 415-255-1155. You do not need to RSVP to attend, and we don't always answer the phone.
